Katrina Kaif – Beauty Secrets

I kick start my day with three to four glasses of water. I am addicted to the Purifying Apricot Oil from Anne Semoin.

My shortcut to beauty therapy is exercise — swimming, jogging, gymming — this gives blood circulation a boost and skin feels healthier.

My favourite beauty haunt is Shahnaz Herbal Clinic.

I like to play up my eyes with lots of mascara by Yves Saint Laurent.

A beauty rule that I follow is to always cleanse my face of all make-up, however tired I may be. I use a face wash by Mene & Moy which has two per cent salicylic acid and Lancôme Cleansing Milk for the face and eyes.

My skin behaves well if I use less make-up.

My quick fix before a party is blow-drying my hair. I use a Kérastase product in my bath which leaves my hair soft and manageable. So styling comes easy.

To deal with a beauty emergency I rely on a mineral mud mask by Anne Semoin. It calms my skin.

My look for the coming season is traditional with more emphasis on the eyes with MAC kohl, keeping cheeks and lips neutral with a bronze highlighter from Laura Mercier and a MAC lip gloss in nude.

My bedside table essentials are a body moisturizer from Clarins, vitamin C tablets and a book to learn Hindi!
